Hello BP! 

I am a 25 year old Texas A&M Economics graduate working in purchasing (buying) at a retailer in the DC area, and am new to real estate investing! I first got the real estate bug several months ago but I have been super passionate about finance and how money works for as long as I can remember. I have a buddy in commercial real estate lending analysis and my father who had a rental property in Florida and I just got curious. I sort of stumbled into BP through Google looking up general information on real estate investing. I have read a ton of the bigs books and continue to listen to many of the BP podcasts. 

Day in and day out I obsess over my knowledge on real estate rehabbing and have made that what I am focusing on, but now I am ready to jump into it.

My whole family is from various parts of Florida so I am somewhat familiar with the Orlando area. In the early part of 2019 I will be intensely focused on completing my first deal in that area. While I am aware of the challenges of out of state investing, my father will act as my partner and my boots on the ground person who is not too far from the area.

I would love to speak with someone who has had rehabbing/flipping experience in the Orlando area. I am very serious about looking to partner soon with local investor friendly agents, and private/hard money lenders as I will be purchasing in the area. Any great recommendations?

Primary focus will be SFH, $100-$200k price range, off the MLS (Distressed Properties, REO) with the intent to flip.

Hope to hear from y'all!
